BORSTAR...

HE DID IT!!!
Ed passed the ridiculously hard BORSTAR {border search trauma and rescue} academy.  This is basically navy seals or army ranger training. it's pretty intense.  you get sleep deprived, worked out to no end, written tests, skills tests, emt tests, swift water training, in the first 10 days ed slept maybe a total of 6 hours {and only like 30 minutes at a time if he was lucky}.  it's crazy brutal and they push you to your limits and beyond... but he did it! and we are SO SO SO proud.  we got to go to the graduation in san diego at Coronado Navy base.  Thankfully my kids were pretty good. mack slept on me, and e finally gave in on grandma.  Margie made the kids the cutest little borstar outfits for graduation.

This all means also that we got a move to tucson.  peace out douglas {well, when our house sells... anyone wanna buy it? :) }  They gave us really no time to move, graduated friday, came home saturday, found an apt on sunday moved up mon/tues {he called in for tuesday} and he started wednesday.  so i live among boxes and we have made the two hour trek to douglas far to many times in the last week. i'm tired. but so thankful for the opportunities my family is getting now!


WAY TO GO ED!
